#74: Jason Lapiana: From Specialist to Generalist

Jason Lapiana (@jason.lapiana) from Clearwater, Florida is on the Passive Hang! Jason is a movement teacher who is the director of coaching at @move_training_calisthenics. Jason is an absolute weapon who is starting to share more of his insights online and is worth checking out. 

Jason used to be on the pursuit for professional baseball, before the pressure of competition and specialisation started to turn on him. What used to be fun, lost the fun. On a search for something broader he set on a path towards fitness before coming familiar with the concept of movement practice. Initially a skeptic, he gradually exposed himself more and more before reacquainting with a lost energy - the concept of play. A reminder of his childhood days in the NYC city block. 

Jason shares his journey of how he transformed his body and practice to a point where he can express himself as he desires - which you can see on his Instagram updates as he leaps and pivots in explosive acrobatics. But rather than just the pursuit of diversity and skills - Jason orients himself towards the cultivation and research of qualities. What does it mean to develop a quality vs skill acquisition? We discuss in this great conversation.

Thanks Jason! Check out his instagram and youtube for a taste of his insights.
